The Monday After: Taking closer look at Buckeyes season-opening win over Notre Dame

COLUMBUS — Ohio State didn’t always do it with finesse and plenty of points.
But the way the Buckeyes beat Notre Dame on Saturday night in the Horseshoe was just fine for coach Ryan Day.
“We just beat the No. 5 team in the country by 11 points,” Ohio State coach Ryan Day said. “And I couldn’t be any prouder of our team.”
Lettermen Row was inside the Horseshoe to break it all down Saturday night, and now it’s back outside the Horseshoe to re-examine everything it learned from the game.
Spencer Holbrook and Tim May are breaking down how the Buckeyes fared with the newest Lettermen Row video: The Monday After. Every Monday following Buckeyes games, Tim and Spencer will reconvene and chat about what they saw Saturday night.
